Jasprit Bumrah dropped from Srilanka tour

by

Jasprit Bumrah will not be part of India’s squad for the upcoming tour of Sri Lanka. The decision has been made due to concerns over his fitness and workload management. Bumrah, who has been a key player for India across all formats, is currently undergoing a period of rest and rehabilitation to ensure he is fully fit for future international commitments.

The Indian cricket management and medical team have decided that it is in Bumrah’s best interest to skip this tour to avoid any risk of aggravating existing issues and to ensure his long-term availability for crucial matches ahead, including upcoming World Cup fixtures and other significant series.

The team will be relying on other pace options in Bumrah’s absence, with the hope that his return will bolster the squad for future challenges.

K Srikkanth Upset with Gautam Gambhir’s U-turn on Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli

by

Krishnamachari Srikkanth has taken Gautam Gambhir to task over what he calls a “U-Turn” regarding senior players Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli. Gambhir, who is now India’s Head Coach, previously suggested that if these senior players did not perform well in the T20 World Cup 2024, they might be left out of the team.

However, Gambhir’s recent comments seem to contradict his earlier stance. He now says that having players like Rohit and Kohli for as long as possible would be ideal, even hoping they could play in the 2027 World Cup if they stay fit.

Srikkanth, speaking on his YouTube channel “Cheeky Cheeka,” pointed out this shift. He noted that Gambhir’s current view is that both players have plenty of cricket left in them, which seems to be at odds with his previous position.

Srikkanth also mentioned that while Kohli, with his fitness, might make it to the next ODI World Cup, it would be challenging for Rohit, who is 37 and would be 40 by the 2027 World Cup. Srikkanth compared this to players like MS Dhoni and Sachin Tendulkar, who were exceptional in their later years.

During the discussion, Srikkanth’s son, Anirudha, disagreed with his father’s strong criticism of Gambhir’s comments. Anirudha suggested giving Gambhir some leeway in this situation.
